AbstractObjectiveTo compare infant and toddler anthropometric measurements, feeding practices and mean nutrient intakes by race/ethnicity and income.DesignCross-sectional analysis using general linear modelling. Ten years of survey data (2003–2012) were combined to compare anthropometric measurements, feeding practices and mean nutrient intakes from a nationally representative US sample.SettingThe 2003–2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).SubjectsInfants and toddlers (n 3669) aged 0–24 months.ResultsRates of overweight were higher among Mexican-American infants and toddlers (P=0·002). There were also several differences in feeding practices among groups based on race/ethnicity. Cessation of breast-feeding occurred earlier for non-Hispanic black and Mexican-American v. non-Hispanic white infants (3·6 and 4·2 v. 5·3 months; P<0·0001; P=0·001). Age at first feeding of solids was earlier for white than Mexican-American infants (5·3 v. 5·7 months; P=0·02). There were differences in almost all feeding practices based on income, including the lowest-income infants stopped breast-feeding earlier than the highest-income infants (3·2 v. 5·8 months, P<0·0001). Several differences in mean nutrient intakes by both race/ethnicity and income were also identified.ConclusionsOur study indicates that disparities in overweight, feeding practices and mean nutrient intakes exist among infants and toddlers according to race/ethnicity, which cannot be disentangled from income.

Abstract. Adequate dietary intake is vital for infants’ growth and development. The aim was to analyse food consumption and energy and nutrient intakes in a group of healthy Spanish infants and toddlers. Cross-sectional study. 154 infants were assessed at 6 months, and followed at 12 and 30 months. Clinical history, anthropometry, type of feeding, food consumption and energy and nutrient intakes (24-hours recall) were estimated. Advice about food consumed, estimated average requirements, the prevalence of inadequate intakes and percentage of adequacy of the recommended dietary allowance were applied. Toddlers had an excessive daily consumption of meat (>51.3g/day), milk (>545g/day), fish (>20.8g/day) and free-sugar foods (>30.5g/day). This consumption was related to a very high intake of proteins (>18%) and free sugars (>10%), at 12 and 30 months, as a percentage of daily energy intake. The mean prevalence of inadequacy intakes was above 48% for iron at 6 months, and 68% and 87% for vitamin D at 12 and 30 months, respectively. At 6 months, infants who were breastfed had greater adequacy in energy and nutrients to recommended dietary, while infants fed infant formula had a higher intake (>120% compared with RDA) in vitamins E, C, B1, B2, pantothenic acid, B6, B12 and folic acid. The contribution of micronutrients in infant formula should be reviewed, appropriate protein and free sugars should be provided during complementary feeding, as well as strategies to avoid vitamin D deficiency since childhood; and continue with the promotion of breastfeeding.

ABSTRACT Background Many updates to young child feeding recommendations have been published over the past decade, but concurrent intake trends have not been assessed. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate adequacy and trends in energy and nutrient intakes of US infants and children aged 0–47.9 mo through use of Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) data from 2002, 2008, and 2016. Methods FITS are cross-sectional surveys of parents/caregivers of infants and young children (FITS 2002, n = 2962; FITS 2008, n = 3276; FITS 2016, n = 3235). Dietary intakes were assessed by telephone with trained interviewers using the Nutrition Data System for Research. Mean ± SE nutrient intakes were calculated. Diet adequacy was assessed with the nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) for 17 nutrients and the corresponding mean adequacy ratio. Results Energy and macronutrient intakes were generally stable across surveys, but significant decreases for saturated fat and total sugars and an increase in fiber were observed among 6–11.9-mo-olds and 12–23.9-mo-olds (P-trend < 0.0001). Mean sodium intakes exceeded Adequate Intakes (AI) for all ages, whereas fiber intakes were universally below the AI. Nutrients with the lowest NAR values were vitamin D (range 0.41–0.67/1.00) and vitamin E (range 0.60–0.79/1.00 for 2008 and 2016). For iron, infants aged 6–11.9 mo had the lowest NAR values at 0.77–0.88/1.00, compared to 0.85–0.89/1.00 for 12–47.9-mo-olds. Potassium was low from 12 to 47.9 mo (NAR range 0.55–0.63/1.00 across survey years). The nutrients with the greatest decline in mean intakes were iron and vitamins D and E among 6–11.9-mo-olds, and vitamin D and potassium among 12–23.9-mo-olds in 2016 compared to 2002. Conclusions The diets of US infants and young children were generally adequate for most micronutrients and stable over time, but sodium intakes were too high, and nutrient gaps still existed, especially for vitamins D, E, and fiber across ages and for iron among infants.
